Default Normal engine noise? [Video]

Sounds normal to me but different from my C8 stingray. I checked out a few videos on YouTube and this doesn’t sound like valve train noise but just to be safe - what does everyone here think?

I don’t hear anything abnormal in the video. As long as the noise isn’t louder on one side than the other. If one of the valves is out of spec the noise is pretty noticeable. It’s not as rhythmic in nature. According to my service manager you can easily tell if it needs the the TSB and isn’t subtitle.

Sounds pretty normal to me. If it get's any louder or mor inconsistent I'd bring it in.
